Some people call it the Portuguese Cod as, in our waters, it is the species with the most similarity to cod. Unlike the latter, however, the hake is sold on the same day it is fished and is consumed fresh and not salted. It is abundant all along the Portuguese coast. It lends itself to almost any recipe; boiled, oven-baked, or cut in fillets, it is yummy!
